Ian Parsons

Ian Parsons works as a conservation architect on heritage projects for larger firms of architects. Current projects include an agricultural heritage center in East Lothian and the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. His involvement with energy-efficient design started during the first oil crisis of 1973 with the pioneering low-impact design initiative in Cornwall, focusing solar panel and wind turbine installations as well as low-energy house designs. Based in Inverclyde since 2014, he appreciates the unique, yet often ignored, characteristics of the area.
